Mount Polley

Mount Polley is an open pit copper/gold mine located in south-central British Columbia, 56 kilometres northeast of Williams Lake. Mount Polley mine is 100% owned and operated by Mount Polley Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of Imperial.

After a care and maintenance suspension of three years, operations at Mount Polley recommenced in July 2022 providing jobs and economic opportunities for the local communities.

In 2022, Mount Polley Mining Corporation and the Williams Lake First Nation (the T’exelcemc) signed a Revised Participation Agreement, renewing the Participation Agreement which was initially signed in December 2011 and updated in 2016. Mount Polley and Xatśūll First Nation entered into a Participation Agreement in 2012. Imperial looks forward to continuing to work together with the T’exelcemc and Xatśūll First Nation to ensure Mount Polley continues to provide meaningful benefits to the T’exelcemc, the Xatśūll First Nation and the surrounding communities who work with and support Mount Polley.
